It's been a while since I've written, BUT I recently decided to be better about it and intentionally carve out time for blogging!
Bendelle is 20.5 months old, and quickly on her way to 2 years. Like every other parent out there, I go to bed wondering where the time has gone! I seriously can't believe how much she is growing and learning, and seeing her feisty, charming and hilarious personality take hold has been something else. I've said it a million times before, but being a parent is honestly the coolest thing ever. And most difficult. But more than anything, it's such a blessing.
We spent a few weeks in Seal Beach looking over my mom's place and her pets. It was so nice to be back at the ocean and visit all our favorite beach spots, and having our first official beach day with Bendelle. Even though it meant taking care of two cats and walking four dogs four times a day (craaaazy), it was totally worth it.
We quickly found out that just like her mama, Bendelle is a total beach bum. She loved the sand and the water and would quickly point out each boat on the sea and bird in the sky every time we went to the shore. We took her to different beaches on a daily basis and it became apparent that she could stay there all day if we let her.
The weather was perfect the whole time we were there, so it was nice to take strolls on the boardwalk and through town and getting chances to meet up with friends who lived close by.
Here are just a few of the spots we took her to :)

And in case you haven't noticed, we have a new puppy! Even though we were NOT looking for another dog, this little girl needed a home and being part schnauzer and identical to Darcy when she was a pup, we couldn't say no :) So here is little Miss Bingley! And we have officially completed our Pride & Prejudice trifecta with our pups!
